  1. Re:5th Amendment on Drone Kills Top Al Qaeda Figure · · Score: 0

    Good point.

    I just did a quick google search and it appears he was tried in absentia by the Yemenis and some kind of "capture or kill" order was put out on him.

    How many skyscrapers in the US got destroyed in that "real war"?

    The CIA isn't allowed to operate in the US.

  5. Re:5th Amendment on Drone Kills Top Al Qaeda Figure · · Score: 0

    I'm pretty sure an admitted Al-Qaida leadership figure could be construed as a valid target, due to the public danger they pose. It's been argued that he aided and directed the underwear bomber and some of the 9/11 hijackers.

    He's an american but he renounced his citizenship and has kept himself outside the reach of the US legal system. I'm not a fan of this action but we were between a rock and a hard place on how to deal with this douche bag.

    I won't lose any sleep over his death.

    haha, windows?

    Windows Phone has the same level of success as Meego, except they've spent billions pushing it.

  8. Re:$30 mil per movie title! on Netflix Signs Exclusive Deal With Dreamworks · · Score: 1

    Netflix's stock price dropped because of two things: loss of an important supplier (Starz) and a very bad PR move. They've found a new supplier in Dreamworks and put out a bunch of new PR and member perks, so it looks like they're actively fixing the previous issues.

    I bought NTFX stock when it hit bottom because they have a good service, they just had a few set backs. Hopefully these attempts to correct their current woes pan out. ;)

    "Legacy" only exists for shitty proprietary software.

    Android is a response to Apple, Windows Phone is an attempt to clone the success Apple had in the past.
